The Peoples Democratic Party in Ife Federal Constituency, Osun State, has passed a vote of no confidence on the state Deputy Governor, Prince Kola Adewusi, and former National Secretary of the party, Prof Wale Oladipo, over alleged anti party activities.
At a constituency meeting held at the residence of a senatorial leader in Ile Ife, party leaders accused Adewusi and Oladipo of holding meetings with the House of Representatives member representing Ife Federal Constituency, Taofeek Ajilesoro, who recently defected to the All Progressives Congress.
The communique issued after the meeting and signed by the party’s Financial Secretary, Adesoji Adegoke, former Deputy Speaker, Ropo Oyewale, and 27 others, including two serving commissioners, Dipo Eluwole (Education) and Biyi Odunlade (Inter Party Affairs), said the conduct of the accused leaders posed a danger to the PDP in Ife land.
The document obtained on Tuesday partly read, “a vote of no confidence is passed on, Prof Wale Oladipo, the Deputy Governor Prince Kola Adewusi, and the PDP Chairman of Ife East Local Government, Hon Olasunkanmi Makinde (a k a Benco).”
Reacting, Oladipo dismissed the decision, describing those behind the communique as impostors.
“They are a group of jesters, who can hardly be identified as party members in Ife. I am an Ife man, I cannot be an enemy of another Ife person, so my duty and that of the Deputy Governor is to bring more people to the fold not to be fighting them.
“I challenged those who claimed to pass a vote of no confidence in us to address the press and pronounce their decision,” he said.
